Re: 2nd Edition of Thelma (Leasure) Marshall's book.

I have been searching for information about Thomas and Joseph Leasure, as outlined below.Perhaps the information I have for these families will be of help to you.I would be pleased if you could anser some of hte questions I have.

I am looking for birth date and place, marriage date and place, death date and place for Joseph Leasure and for members ofthe Joseph Leasure and Thomas Leasure families. Joseph Leasure married Andell Heydon (b. 1839 ), daughter of David and Lucretia (Rice) Heydon.Thomas Leasure married Evaline Heydon (b. 1845), daughter of David and Lucretia (Rice) Heydon.

In the 1880 census for Waterville township, Le Sueur County, MN the following are listed; Joseph Leasure (head) born in IN age 42 Andell (wife) born in IA age 40 William (son) age 13 born in MN Susana (Dau) age 10 born in MN Rebecca (Dau) age 7 born in MN Thomas A. (Son) age 5 born in MN Daniel (Son) age 2 born in MN Mary (Mother) age 79 born in PA

Thomas Leasure (born in Ohio) is in the 1860 census for Le Sueur County, MN.

I found two marriages in Le Sueur County, MN for Thomas Leasure

Louisa Snell 21 MAR 1861

EVELINE HAYDEN Mar. 12, 1868

Le Sueur County, MN death records don't go back past 1870 so some of these events would not be recorded in this county.

In the 1880 census for Cordova Township, Le Sueur County, MN the following are listed; Evaline Leasure (head) age 44 born in NY Robert (son) age 18 born in MN Matilda (dau) age 11 born in MN Albert (son) age 8 born in MN William (son) age 4 born in MN Husband Thomas is not listed in this census.
